Midstate Registered Professional Nurse of Excellence

Amela Thompson RN (Here’s what was said)

We all know todays emergency rooms are busier than ever, crowded, hectic and not on anyone’s to do list, a trip to the ED is not always a pleasant experience ………. Unless you are fortunate enough to have tonight’s Nurse of Excellence at your bedside.

Always taking time to listen to EMS always greeting the crew and patient with a pleasant remark and a warm smile. A Compassionate, caring professional

Her application suggests that it is her past nursing home experience that is has provided her with the uncanny ability to calm even the most anxious and nervous elderly patient.

Balancing the demands in any Emergency Room is difficult, everyone wants everything now, patients, physicians, staff even EMS. This Rome memorial ED nurse balances all these and somehow remains pleasant. and it for these reasons we recognize Amela as Midstate Nurse of Excellence.
